When choosing the right children's room ceiling light, more aspects play a role than color or design, regardless of whether you choose the light according to the criterion "boy or girl" when setting it up for the first time or replace the old light with a model with a motif from the latest animated film: It is always important to look for the best quality of light for the children's room. We explain what this means in this guide.
You shouldn't even think about anything other than LED in the children's room. Neither with the children's room ceiling light nor with other children's room lights that are within easy reach of the child. Halogen lamps in table lamps, for example, often cause burnt fingers. Energy-saving lamps are completely out of the question in children's rooms due to their mercury content.
LEDs ...
The days when you planned so and so many watts for a room are numbered. For energy-efficient light sources such as LED lamps, consider the lumen\ value instead. This really gives information about the brightness and not just the energy consumption (watts).
To determine a good room brightness, take the square meterage of the child's room and multiply this by around 140 lumens (personal light/dark preferences can increase or decrease this value). This will give you the approximate total brightness that your children's room ceiling light needs to provide.
An example: An average children's room with enough space to play and relax has an area of around 15 m². Multiplied by 140, this results in a required total brightness of 2,100 lumens. This means that for this average-sized children's room, for example, a 3-lamp children's room ceiling light with 3 lamps at 700 lumens is required or, for example, a 5-lamp light with 5 lamps at 400 lumens.
The children's room is the combination of all living spaces in just one room. Think about your living room and bedroom: what kind of light do you particularly like in these rooms? Probably a comfortable, warm light in the living room. And in the bedroom, a light that makes your clothes appear in exactly the same beautiful colors as you bought them in the fashion store.
As the children's room ceiling light provides the basic lighting for the room, it is particularly important to pay attention to the light quality of the light sources it contains.
Two properties of light are responsible for comfort and beautiful, vibrant colors: light color and color rendering. A warm white light color of 2,700 Kelvin provides a cozy, reddish light that is wonderful for relaxing. A color rendering of at least Ra 80 ensures that items of clothing, but also crayon drawings and handicrafts, colourful picture books and brightly coloured action figures from the latest superhero film are reproduced in a rich and vivid way.
**Children love colors and relaxation - with the right light you can fulfill this wish.
*The specification of light color and color rendering can be found in the product details of all light sources and all luminaires that contain permanently installed LED lighting technology.
